Hear acclaimed singer-songwriters share stories & perform hits
"Recommended as a place to experience songwriter’s rounds, where performers share the stories behind their songs in an intimate setting." - Missy Frederick
"The Listening Room Café is a music venue near downtown where patrons can listen to singers and songwriters practice their craft. Here, writers perform songs that might have become radio hits for country stars, and more importantly, the fascinating stories behind their creation. Paired with elevated bar food, sandwiches, and downhome Southern fare, it’s a great way to enjoy dinner (or lunch or brunch) and a show. The signature sandwich is a Midwest classic — the Turkey Apple Crisp made with house-smoked turkey, apple slices, and cranberry aioli on toasted wheat berry bread — and is best enjoyed with a glass of Pepsi." - Chris Chamberlain
"Nashville produces not only country music stars but also the songwriters behind the lyrics. The downtown Listening Room Cafe places songwriters in the spotlight, with rounds occurring multiple times per day so you can hear behind-the-scenes stories and performances from the people that have penned some of music’s biggest hits. Most shows have a food and beverage minimum, so plan to order an app like buffalo chicken dip to share, a main like hot chicken and waffles, or Tennessee cheesecake for dessert. The Listening Room is a ticketed venue." - Kellie Walton
"The Listening Room shines the spotlight on songwriters every single day, so it’s only fitting the main stage will host 10 shows throughout Tin Pan South. Along with special guests, artists include Ingrid Andress, Scotty McCreery, Jeffrey Steele, and more. There’s a food and beverage minimum, so you might as well plan to grab a bite during the show. Options include wings, wraps, burgers, and a cheesecake topped with bourbon caramel for dessert." - Kellie Walton
"The Listening Room Cafe has moved three times since its founding in 2006. While consistency of address isn’t a strong suit, the quality of the singer/songwriters has remained a constant. The newest iteration isn’t fancy, but it is big—both the stage and the venue—with plenty of parking and close to downtown. It's no frills, but that’s the point: just the songs without backup singers or light shows." - Kristin Luna,Margaret Littman
